Abstract: For a semisimple Lie algebra g the orbit method attempts to assign representations of g to (coadjoint) orbits in g*. Orbital varieties are particular Lagrangian subvarieties of such orbits leading to highest weight representations of g. In sl(n) orbital varieties are described by Young tableaux. In this paper we consider so called Richardson orbital varieties in sl(n). A Richardson orbital variety is an orbital variety whose closure is a standard nilradical. We show that in sl(n) a Richardson orbital variety closure is a union of orbital varieties. We give a complete combinatorial description of such closures in terms of Young tableaux. This is the second paper in the series of three papers devoted to a combinatorial description of orbital variety closures in sl(n) in terms of Young tableaux.

Review text

This is the second part of the series of three papers, see the review of the first one [J. Algebra 271, No. 1, 179--233 (2004)] above. An orbital variety of a connected semisimple finite dimensional complex algebraic group \(G\) in its Lie algebra \(\mathfrak g\) under the adjoint action of \(G\) is an irreducible component of the intersection \(Gx\cap \mathfrak n\), \(x\in\mathfrak n\), where \({\mathfrak g}={\mathfrak n}\oplus{\mathfrak h}\oplus{\mathfrak n}^-\) is a triangular decomposition of \(\mathfrak g\). In \(\mathfrak{sl}_n\) the orbital varieties are described in terms of Young tableaux. In the present paper the author studies the so called Richardson orbital varieties in \(\mathfrak{sl}_n\). Such an orbital variety is defined with the property that its closure is a standard nilradical. It is shown that the closure of a Richardson orbital variety is a union of orbital varieties. The author gives a complete combinatorial description of such closures in terms of Young tableaux.
